June of twenty-twenty-four, the hard news came around

A heavy word like cancer can bring a spirit down

But friends and family bowed their heads to send an earnest plea

And I knew the Lord above was watching over me

We drove from West Virginia across the state line

Heading down to Kentucky, trusting the Divine

Charles holding onto my hand, through the scans and the wait

We didn't call it a burden, we called it our chemo date

Yeah, the Lord was in the backseat on our chemo date

Six treatments on the calendar, every three weeks we’d go

Through the PET scans and the testing, walking steady, walking slow

Charles never left my side, my rock through every mile

He’d sit with me through the medicine and somehow make me smile

We drove from West Virginia across the state line

Heading down to Kentucky, trusting the Divine

Charles holding onto my hand, through the scans and the wait

We didn't call it a burden, we called it our chemo date

Yeah, the Lord was in the backseat on our chemo date

Every prayer from back at home was pavement on the road

Lifting up this weary heart and lightening the load

What the shadows meant for sorrow, we turned into a song

With my husband right beside me, I knew I could be strong

When we drove from West Virginia across the state line

Heading down to Kentucky, trusting the Divine

Charles holding onto my hand, through the scans and the wait

We didn't call it a burden, we called it our chemo date

Thank God for the healing and the love on our chemo date
